GEMS is one of the largest operating coal mining companies in Indonesia by


reserves, and has exclusive mining rights over concession areas covering an
aggregate of approximately 38,165 hectares.

The consideration of S$1.88 billion for approximately 69.9998% of GEMS was


satisfied via the allotment and issuance of 1,978,327,436 shares to the vendor,
PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk (DSS). An additional 65,818,033 shares were
also allotted and issued to DSS as compensation shares in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the share purchase agreement. Both DSS and GEMS are
listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
At an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on April 8, 2015, DSS
shareholders voted in support of the RTO. This follows an earlier EGM by UFS
held on March 4, 2015, where shareholders of UFS approved, amongst other
things, the RTO and a proposed name change to Golden Energy and Resources
Limited.
Mr Fuganto Widjaja, GEARs Executive Director and Group Chief Executive
Officer, said, The completion of this RTO marks the start of an exciting corporate
journey for GEAR. We believe that GEAR is poised to emerge as an attractive
resource play with sizeable operations in Indonesia contributing to the power and
infrastructure industry. Post RTO, GEAR owns exclusive mining rights over
concession areas of approximately 38,165 hectares in Indonesia, forestry
concession rights of 265,095 hectares in four regents in South Kalimantan,
Indonesia, as well as operations and trading in coal.

A listing in Singapore provides us with a strong platform to further tap


opportunities in the Indonesian coal market and grow our business. I would also
like to thank shareholders of both entities for their strong support, which paved the
way for the successful completion of this significant reverse takeover exercise.
